I see that domain 3 indicates an SSL problem (as expected), but does anyone know
(a) what error -9812 is, and

From Security/SecureTransport.h (where the SSL domain error are listed):
errSSLUnknownRootCert = -9812, /* valid cert chain, untrusted root */



(b) if what I'm trying to do is actually possible, or if I need to drop into the CFHTTP layer?


For testing, you could add the certificate to your root certificates. I do not believe that WebServices allows you to override the SSL settings. If you absolutely need to do it yourself, you need to drop down to CFHTTP and do everything yourself.


One other piece of possibly relevant information: the server's certificate isn't certified by a real certificate authority like VeriSign--it's acting as its own CA. I tried telling Safari to always trust the certificate in the event that -9812 had something to do with that, and in the event that the network APIs would somehow know about those settings, to no avail.

Safari trusting a certificate only affects Safari for that run. Anything else could potentially be seen as a security risk.
